D  Dsus  D  Dsus (x2)

Verse 1:
D          Dsus                      D     Dsus
A bus station, in the steam from the rain
        Bm      A    G                         D
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay?
                   D    Dsus                   D    Dsus
The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now
        Bm     A                    G                      D
And the houses spread for a million miles, in this gray town


Pre-chorus:
        Bm        Bm7           G              A
And the weight of glory, if you held it in you hand
         Bm         Bm7             G          A
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance


Chorus:
          Bm  Bm7  A
Would you fall to pieces
          Bm  Bm7  D
Would you fall to pieces
          Bm  Bm7  A
Would you fall to pieces
             D
In the high countries?


Verse 2:
            D      Dsus               D     Dsus
We are just pilgrims of the great divorce
     Bm             A               G                        D
I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Bridge:
              A          Bm             G             D
You drink the cup to the bottom, but it burns in your hands
    A              Bm         G        A
The cup was poured out on the Maker instead


Verse 3:
           D          Dsus            D     Dsus
Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost
     Bm       A                G                          D
Bound up with all that I call "mine", still the light grows
